Physical Planning Considerations
142 SAN High Availability Planning Guide
This single Ethernet connection is supported by HP, is Open View-Storage
Node Manager (OV-SNM) compatible, and is the recommended
configuration for a typical HP installation at a customer site. LAN security is
provided by restricting password access and disabling the SNMP agent,
Embedded Web Server interface, and command line interface (Telnet access)
for each managed director or switch.
Note: The Ethernet adapter in the HAFM appliance provides an auto-detecting
10/100 Mbps connection. Depending on speed restrictions imposed by other
LAN-attached devices, the LAN segment that connects the HAFM appliance to
managed directors and switches operates at either 10 or 100 Mbps.

private intranet and allows operation of the HAFM and Element Manager
applications from remote user PCs or workstations. Connection to this LAN
